You know how in the modern epic Baasha, Rajinikanth had this cool piece of music playing in the background as he did his freestyling, patented walk. Well, that was quite something. Ridiculous and overtly dramatic, but quite capable of making you understand why this man epitomizes local pop culture.
I have background music too. Difference being that no one else can hear it.
For years, Radiohead, Faith No More and Pantera played in the soundtrack to my daily life. A lot of violence, tomfoolery, and embarrassment have been this avoided thanks to the intervention of these fine musicians. I guess music has that effect on me.
And such a fitting weekend it has been to the memory of this motley crew of my favourite bands.
On Saturday, I got to write about Tom Yorke and Radiohead.
Today morning, after years of expecting to stumble onto, I came across this article on the vastly under appreciated Faith No More. It was posted on Floodwatchmusic, a really engaging repository of good music and better content.
